17mm hex RC paddle sand/snow tires

prusaprinters

<p>I don't have and flex filament on hand but it's supposed to snow so I threw these together and printed a couple in PLA. Used size and offset from my Arrma Typhon. They fit great but I haven't had a chance to test them out yet to see how they hold up. Probably not well but whatever.</p> <p>Update: Got a chance to run them in the snow today. They work! I was sure that PLA would just disintegrate but they actually held up and ripped through the icy snow pretty well! Controllable and good power with regular tires up front and paddles on the back.<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/FiuacOZK-3c"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>Small issues: the inside rubs a bit. Nothing a little chamfer on the inside edge shouldn't fix. The hex is also a bit snug. Could probably just print the whole thing at 102% but I'll try to remember to fix it correctly later from my computer.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed these with default PLA settings. 15% infill. I did let PrusaSlicer add support for the shallow cutout on the face. Easy to remove and gives them a little character. Could probably switch up the bottom layer infill for a cooler look.</p>
